This paper examines terrorism and national security in Africa with emphasis on Nigeria boko haram sect. The study is carried out using the secondary source of data for analysis. The paper reveals that the activities of the Boko Haram pose a serious security threat to the entire nation and Africa at large as the terrorist were bent on leaving no stone unturned to ensure that the country did not witness peace.

Schiff’s bases of 2-formyl Pyridine and 6-methyl-2-formylpyridine had been prepared with different aliphatic ammines like n-propylammine, iso-propylammine and tertiarybutylammine. These Schiff’s base ligands of different steric bulk had been used for complexation with Cu(II) metal ion.

A native of Australia and the East Indies, Eucalyptus was introduced to many parts of the world and today ranks as one of the most ubiquitous trees. Eucalyptustereticornis Sm. known as Mysore gum in India is one of the most extensively cultivated Eucalypt species to meet the ever increasing demand of paper and pulp, and wood based industries. The supply to the wood based industries has always fallen short of their requirements. Due to shortage of raw materials from forests, industries have started their own plantations.

Innovative amalgamation of advances in disciplines like nanotechnology, thin film engineering and crystallography, has led to the design and fabrication of functional materials such as shape memory alloys, conducting polymers and metallic glass. These new materials exhibit better mechanical strength than the conventional materials and save the time taken in executing a task. One of these materials – the metallic glass, saves the consumption of energy and thus arrests the resultant degradation of environment. It also bears the potential to boost our longevity and health.

A Bug Tracking System defines a streamlined process for bug reporting, bug assignment, status, severity, duplicity and priority. Bug tracking is a system which is used to keep a track of any type of bugs in any software. It helps the software developers to know what the error is so that they can resolve it and learn from it. This can be easily done by using various Bug Tracking Systems. Working on a software project includes the management of bugs we find. At first, we might list them on a spreadsheet.

Children are like wet cement; whatever falls on them makes an impression. So children need to adjust with this world to do their best in the future. Children normal behaviors depend on various natural and environmental circumstances in which a child grow and observes. The study setting was selected primary schools of Jalandhar, total 60 primary school teachers were selected as a study sample Experimental Research Approach was used during the study, Pre-experimental research design was used; the study was conducted by using purposive sampling technique.

This study determines the Effect of different Phosphorus levels on growth and yield of three varieties of cowpea (VignaUnguiculata (L) Walp) in 2016 rain fed cropping season. Phosphorus is very important for cowpea production in many tropical African soils with inherent low phosphorus fertilizer. Most farmers in this locality do not have access to phosphorus fertilizer. Selection of cowpea lines that produce good yield under low soil phosphorus or those with high phosphorus use efficiency can be a low input approach to solving this problem.

An outbreak of brucellosis occurred in the municipality of Victoria, in the state of Tamaulipas, Mexico. On 25 April 2010, in a stable with 16 riding horses, a mare presented weakness, progressive emaciation, difficult movements and suppurative fistulous withers. Serum samples of these horses and other 27 horses in close contact with animals of the affected stable were subjected to the Rose Bengal test with 8% cell concentration and Rivanol test for identifying the presence of antibodies against Brucella abortus strain 1119-3, and microbiological culture.

Background: The beneficial effect of regular exercise on physical fitness is well documented. There is also evidence that acute and chronic exercise affect platelet activation in different ways. Few studies are available on effect of exercise on platelets function. Therefore, present work has been undertaken to study the effect of exercise on platelets. Objective: Effect of exercise on peripheral platelet count. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted on 40 healthy female subjects in the age group of 22-29. Samples for platelet counts were obtained prior to training and after 12 wk.

With the world becoming more and more of a global village, countries involved in trade do not strife only for the quantity of goods but also for a certain quality standard. The paper aims at identifying and evaluating some of the variables determining import demand in Cameroon. A descriptive and analytical approach using multiple regressions is exploited using World Bank data from 1980 to 2011 to estimate the parameters of a parsimonious import demand function.
